three fries short of a happy meal

A slang expression for getting insane.
The "happy meal" means here "insanity", the person is on the edge of being or getting insane. The most popular use of the term, when it wasn't coined by them, was in a episode of the Sci-Fi series Stargate.
O'Neill: Lose it. It means, go crazy... nuts... insane... bonzo... no longer in possessions of one's faculties... three fries short of a Happy Meal... WACKO!!

Madonna fries 

The last few french fries that fall to the bottom of a fast food bag. They often get discarded into the trash and make for good dumpster food.

True story ... When Madonna was poor she used to dumpster dive. She's on record as saying she was fond of McDonald's bags because there would often be some fries at the bottom of the bag.
It seems like every time I get fast food there are always some Madonna fries that fall to the bottom of the bag.

I saw some people dumpster diving for Madonna fries the other day.

fringe fries 

Those nasty, crunchy, dried-up fries that have been sitting under the heat lamp at a fast food restaurant for a couple of hours. These are often given to customers when they're almost out, but haven't made a new batch of fries yet.
I went to McDonald's the other day, and at least a third of my fries were fringe fries.

accidental fries 

you know that moment when you ordered fries: you patiently wait for them

and when you get them you see some accidental fries. That is without any doubt the best moment in life of every adequate person. You would never order curly fries on your own, but the feeling of getting 2-3 of them in your normal fries is tangible.
accidental fries in How I Met Your Mother:
A few years earlier, Barney met Blauman for a drink at MacLaren's. Barney was upset at Blauman for eating four fries from the basket Barney had ordered (after declining to order any food himself). Not only did he eat four fries, but the fourth one was an "accidental curly."

you want some fries 

When someone is being salty
Kevin - " I'm mad at you you"
Kayla - " you want some fries with that salt"
